Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesThe bath towels could have been a little larger, softer and dry.
This is the cutest little motel! I stayed for two nights while attending a work event. I felt completely safe being alone. Parking is available right in front of your room. Nice neighborhood with a lovely view of the mountains. Only a few min to Ventura beach and downtown. Even the stray cat seemed delightful!

United StatesThere was no internet available during our stay. A small fridge in the room would be great!
The room was bigger than some other hotel rooms. Both room and bathroom were updated with modern but simple furniture. Hair dryer was available. A good place to come back to for a night or two.

CanadaWe had no complaints, we loved everything!
Although there are no fridges in the room, this hotel more than made up for that. The rooms are impeccably designed (fantastic bathroom!) with excellent mattresses, linens and pillows. I’m really fussy about cleanliness, and this little hotel did not disappoint! We also found an incredible Mexican restaurant down the street, the Casa de Soria, so I highly recommend this lovely little hotel!

United StatesNewly remodeled with a friendly owner on site handling all the details. I stayed at this motel 3 times in the past 5 weeks for a total of 12 nights and it is one of the best lodging experiences I have had. Why? Clean comfortable room with a great bed. Quiet. Dark. The photo shows the window has 2 blinds: a blue blind for privacy and a second blackout blind that covers the whole window.

United StatesThe room has 2 separate blinds. A blue blind that lets in some light while offering total privacy from parking lot. The black out blind covers the whole window and keeps out light at night. Walk to the Thai restaurant for dinner!

United StatesDefinitely need a dimmer or separate way of lighting overhead. All on or all off isn't the best. Would like a small refrigerator in the room. Maybe one luggage rack. Temperature in the room was a little tricky to get right, but we were able to figure it out.
Great price! Beautiful remodel of typical old style motel. Large TV, very clean, very friendly personnel. Beautiful bathroom remodel. A cool place to stay. I was afraid it was too good to be true when I saw the pictures, but it was just as seen. I

United StatesMight be nice to have ice machine in office area, and coffee or tea for morning. No doubt that would increase price, though, and this is an affordable overnight stay comparitively.
Clean, comfortable, updated, and quiet motel. Great place for a sleep-and-go. Amenities were limited (no frig or micro or coffee, etc.) But plenty of options for breakfast, lunch, etc. to drive to near by.
